Fisher’s Ethical Decision-making Model
Ethical reasoning models have been posited to help you think about how you approach ethical dilemmas. It is
“why” we make a decision. In this assessment, you will be researching ethical theories and applying them to an
ethical dilemma. Note that ethical theories are not theoretical orientations. You should not attempt to mesh an
ethical theory with your professional identity. Rather, you should consider the utility of all of the theories.
Ethical decision-making models describe “how” we go about making an ethical decision. In Fisher’s 2023 book,
Decoding the Ethics Code, she proposes a highly recommended eight-step ethical decision-making model:
Step 1: Develop and sustain a professional commitment to doing what is right.
Step 2: Acquire sufficient familiarity with the APA’s “Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of
Conduct” to anticipate situations that require ethical planning and to identify unanticipated situations that
require ethical decision making.
Step 3: Gather additional facts relevant to the specific ethical situation from professional guidelines, state
and federal laws, and organizational policies.
Step 4: Make efforts to understand the perspective of different stakeholders who will be affected by the
decision and consult with colleagues.
Step 5: Apply Steps 1 to 4 to generate ethical alternatives and evaluate each alternative in terms of moral
theories, general principles and ethical standards, relevant laws and policies, and consequences to
stakeholders.
Step 6: Select and implement an ethical course of action.
Step 7: Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the course of action.
Step 8: Modify and continue to evaluate the ethical plan if feasible and necessary.
This model takes into consideration the importance of ethical commitment, awareness, and competence, and is
designed to help you start the process of learning how to make sound ethical decisions. Interestingly, this
decision-making model mirrors the three stages of therapy: exploration, insight, and action. Steps 1–3 are
focused more on exploring the whole ethical dilemma. For example, Step 2 suggests that you familiarize
yourself with the standards that apply to this situation and anticipate any further ethical issues that may arise in
the situation. Steps 4–5 promote insight into the ethical situation in question. Step 4 proposes that you consider
the impact of the situation on all parties involved, not just yourself. Last, Steps 6–8 encourage taking action in
the situation.
